To early to start a countdown?

[Katie Bookwench]

To Kevin, the rest of the Idiots, and all my lovely friends on R/F:

Stop by the topside of the Castle, next to the garden, and say Buon Giorno to Calliope and Bianca, the Lovely Ladies at Carnevale della Muse. 

They're new characters this year, and would love to meet you! 

5 days and counting!!

4 DAYS AND 12 HOURS UNTIL MIRF OPENS!!!

Nefarious you may want to check out Ric Roc, and The Buckle and Swash show,  those are just few  of my favorites, but really all the acts I've seen I can't say I've seen one I that I couldn't enjoy. There are just too many to list, but I'd suggest these two for kids. They're good shows not even alot of jokes that are made to go over little kids heads to make them question stuff later.

[NefariousDrO]

Oh yeah! I'd almost forgotten about Ric Roc! I always catch his show at Silverleaf but often seem to miss his gig at Holly (Which should be a serious crime in all states) so I'll have to make sure I catch him. I think my nephew would get a real kick out of his show.

[Lady Deborah]

We will be there Sunday, but will miss opening day once again this year.  Seems there is always an event that comes between us and opening day.  Next year, opening day, no one is allowed to get married, have a baby, have surgery, or die!  Looking forward to seeing everyone again....we have been to many other faires, but there is no place like home....

[Ladyfair]

giggle.....giggle....... The village of Hollygrove is coming alive...... the fresh paint everywhere...... the beautiful flowers.... the last minute preparations becoming final... ooooo sooooooo exciting!!!  Can't wait for opening cannon 'cause We know we get to see friends that have been missed!!
HUZZAH to the new season!!

[Poldugarian Warrior]

Yeah, Nefarious especially see Ric Roc's the dumb show, because it's quite different. I won't be there opening day. I have to sell a bunch of my old collectible toys at a garage sale, so I hope I get some dough to spend on more renfest stuff, such as swords, and drinking vessels, and I'm also dabbling wih the idea of collecting old west stuff. I've always liked that period of history, but never bought any lasting collectibles. When I was a child I had cap guns, but they don't look as nearly as good as a  replica firearm. And I don't really need real firing blackpowder civil war pistols or old west revolvers. In this day in age get semi-auto or auto. But, next weekend I should be there.

I fear that my personal coutdown too must be lenghtened. Traveling to our home away from home faire just will not work with the demands of work (da*m mundania!) for the opening weekend. Thankfully we were able to see a number of MIRF friends this year at GLMF and I belive there will be a nice representation from here to reciprocate on Labor day weekend. I hope we are able to see you all before that and we look forward to meeting even more of you all personally.

[Ellaris]

OMG! It seems to have snuck up on me. There is so much to do to prepare and alas I must work all day tomorrow meaning last minute packing for me. Still completely worth it.

[Poldugarian Warrior]

It's kinda of good I'm not going opening weekend. I don't really have my armor shined up.

[flidais]

WhaaaaHooooo!!  Almost opening weekend.  I won't be there, but for some reason, just knowing that it's MIRF season again is enough for me.  And when we do make it down for the second weekend, it's going to be soooo much fun.  I will be starting another thread about that.   

Since I won't be there this weekend, I would like to wish all the cast, crew, merchants, and musicians a great opening weekend!!! 

[Thumper]

Sounds like a lot of people are missing opening weekend.   

If anyone does make it look for the Scottish lady with a black and white sheltie and say hi! 

[gypsyqueenie]

Bloody 'ell Dan & Kim ye will be missed but we do look forward to Labor Day weekend then indeed.

As pointed out , it does seem many of ye are missin' this opening weekend - it truly sucks when real life gets in the way of our mischief and mayhem - alas we forge on without ye and look forward ta seein ye during the run of fest!!

yours in piracy,
AMR

[Ellaris]

Thankful for having a job? Yes. Upset that I have to work every weekend until October? Yes. Calling in on Sunday so I can spend ALL of opening weekend at faire? YES. It's not irresponsible if I find a quick replacement, right? Besides, I've been looking forward to opening weekend since last October so I am set on not letting anything get in the way. So my mirf shenanigans start in T-8 hours. I don't think I'll be able to sleep.

[Captain Cornelius Howard Duckman]

The wife and i will deffently be there on Saturday. Actually, it looks like only saturdays for us this season. As usual, just look for the giant rubber duck.
